Long Time No Talk!!
There have been a multitude of changes since our last posting...let me get you up to speed...I started back with BDO Dunwoody in Grande Prairie in early November...unfortunately things did not work out as well as possible...one day at work I received a call from a colleague who asked me "I saw a job posting in Coldstream and was wondering if you had applied?" I replied "No" and didn't think anything of it. However, the following day I recieved a call from a different colleague and this person asked me the same question. It was at this point where I began to wonder if there was a greater power at work. I proceeded to look up the job posting...Tanya and I talked about it and we decided that I would throw my hat into the ring.
Our house had been on the market since the beginning of October and initially we had lots of viewings but those dried up shortly thereafter...when the job posting closed in March we hadn't had a viewing of our Tumbler Ridge house since the beginning of December (3 months). Coldstream contacted me for an interview...a couple days later we had a viewing of our house...I flew down for the interview and within a few days we had an accepted offer on our house...everything had happened so quickly we knew that the good Lord was directing us where he wanted us to be not where WE thought we should be. Shortly thereafter I was offered the position of Director of Financial Administration for the District of Coldstream. Our house sale closed on April 30th and I moved all our belongings into storage in Vernon. Tanya and the kids have stayed in Tumbler Ridge so that the girls can finish school...I will be going up in a couple of weeks to get them and bring them back to Coldstream so that we can get on with life!!
Too often in this life we rely too heavily on ourselves for direction and either don't allow or think we know what God has in store for us...God will continually open doors for us and as long as we conitune to have faith in Him, he will direct us where we need to go...at first we though Grande Prairie was where we needed to go but when you look at how quickly everything came together (job offer, house sale, etc...) it is clear to us the God has directed us where we need to be!! We are extremely excited to be moving back to the Vernon area.
